james-42 commented on Editor Ryan Block Leaving Engadget

"I used to challenge Block's design proclamations because he never bothered to back them up (and they were usually wrong). I guess I did that one too many times because he actually edited one of my comments, removing what I had wrote and replacing it with "I am a troll" and then posting my email address. I emailed the head editor at the time and neither he nor Block had the balls to respond, they did eventually delete the comment. Thankfully, not long after that, found Giz."
